We did not have a reservation for this place on the slopes with “French dining and libations”. We learned the hard way that no reservation means no real food. Plenty of empty seats apparently all reserved in the outdoor enclosed area. When we tried to order something to eat our choice was between candies and a “prosciutto sandwich” – a sorry ham and cheese on a soggy hero wrapped in a plastic film – something one expects to find at a gas station! The view was indeed spectacular.

Best spot on the mountain. Full bar and delicious menu. Make sure you get there early ~11am to get your name down for a table.

Loved it! Get in line by 10:45 am on a sunny day and enjoy! 6 days on the mountain and on day 6 we wanted something more than chili and gumbo. Can’t wait to go back

Difficult to get in here as you need to arrive very early and wait in line. So small it’s almost cruel to advertise it on the trail map. Also not open all days of the week. The food itself was delicious despite a limited menu and a step above the standard cafeteria, just be prepared to spend above 50 bucks a head if you want a drink and a dish.

Wow what a lunch!! The views! The food! It’s hard to pick just a few things to recommend, but the Mushroom Soup and the French Onion Soup are the best we have ever had- anywhere!! The poutine is outstanding- Top Chef version of a comfort food dish, and somehow even more of a comfort food! Many thanks to Luke, the gentleman who runs this amazing place and knows his wine list so well. I will need a trip to Bon Vivant every time I take a ski trip to Telluride!
